Shopper Marketing, Trade Marketing, Customer Marketing

Shopper Marketing, Trade Marketing, Customer Marketing – What is it?

July 30, 2019/0 Comments/in Shopper In Shorts /by Team Asbiverse

There has been an age-old discussion on this point of difference between these 3 terms and my LinkedIn post on the same topic sometimes ago broke all engagement records for me. Off lately, as our business Asbicon has specialised more and more in the Shopper area, this has allowed me to dive deeper into this phenomenon and am happy to share our thinking with all.

Very simply, all the marketing activities from the manufacturer to the retailer/trade so that the retailer/trade stocks and sells that product or service can be called Trade Marketing. All the marketing that happens within the retailer/trade to the shopper of a product or service can be called Shopper Marketing. Both Trade and Shopper Marketing combined can be referred to as Customer Marketing. There are a lot of further details that would sit beneath this such as manufacturer or service provider’s contribution versus retail or trade contribution in these areas of marketing, some overlaps that are bound to exist and the development trajectory of these concepts as channel landscapes change such as the emergence of digital.

All in all, this is a fantastic area of marketing and I will definitely be spending more time working within these. If anyone wishes to discuss more on these topics, please feel free to reach out.

Regards,

Ankur Shiv Bhandari

Shopper Testing of POS materials for CPG Major to ensure best Execution by Asbicon

Shopper Testing of POS materials for CPG Major to ensure best Execution by Asbicon

June 20, 2019/0 Comments/in News /by Team Asbiverse

Consumer Goods manufacturers and retailers spend millions and sometimes billions of dollars on POS materials without really knowing whether it works with shoppers or not. Asbicon delivered a multi-million-pound value creation for a major Consumer Goods Company by developing Shopper focused pack designs through the combined work of Asbicon’s Design, Research, Analytics and Advisory verticals. Based on that success, the same Consumer Goods client has now asked Asbicon to develop Shopper focused Point of Sale materials to ensure best Execution in store.

As part of this Point of Sale materials project, Shopper Research was conducted recently by Asbicon’s Research team on potential design options with great insights uncovered. The sessions were held at Asbicon’s Experience and Research Centre in Berkshire, UK.

We look forward to now developing winning designs and delivering best Execution once again for our esteemed client.

Social Engagement Ranking of Britain's Biggest Brands

Social Engagement Ranking of Britain’s Biggest Brands

April 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Ranking Reports /by Team Asbiverse

Asbicon brings to you Britain’s Top 50 Brands ranked by their Social Engagement!

Building on “The Grocer’s” publication of Britain’s Biggest Brands by sales value in its 30th March 2019 edition, we were intrigued to know how those Brands fared in terms of their social reach. The team at Asbicon (A Consumer Goods Specialist Firm) then put their heads together to work out a ranking on various social media interaction parameters for those Brands. We are excited to share the first of those parameters today – Social Engagement.

Social Engagement = Total Number of Reactions, Comments and Shares on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Combined

This ranking provides an interesting read.

Some Brands feature very high on the rankings driven by strong content and frequency of interaction. This could very well relate to their rise in the Sales Value Based Rankings in the future
Some Brands which are not necessarily present across all three social media platforms we measured here, still drive an overall high engagement
It was surprising to see that many Brands in the Top 100 by Sales Value Ranking had negligible social engagement. It will be interesting to see the impact of that on Sales Value Rankings in the future

To find out more about the details of social engagement or other social metrics related to your Brand or if you have any questions related to this ranking, you can get in touch with me on rachel.osbourne@asbicon.com.

We will be bringing you rankings on other social metrics regularly. We will also be comparing the growth or decline of Brands on those metrics. To ensure that you are notified of those posts when they are launched, please subscribe to our blog from this page.

Rachel Osbourne
